Wow, autoblog are slow that's been out for ages. Also they miss the part about fixing the leak that creates the moisture. On the power lift tailgate version only one bolt is used for the lifter and not two like for the strut. They stick a plug in the hole for the bolt and water gets in there and runs down on top of the controller.
They replace the rubber plug with a bolt and all is good so not sure why the sheild as well. Mine is a June 2015 and already has the bolt but no shield and is not on the recall lost so not sure where they get the 2016 models from. As far as I was aware it was only open to about March this year. Interesting...

Jeep Cherokee recalled to add power liftgate moisture shield
Jeep will recall the 2015-2016 Cherokee to add a moisture shield to protect the power liftgate controls because exposure to water can cause a short circuit.
